Abstract:This is the first full scholarly study of British and French policy in their West African colonies during the Second World War and in the years immediately following. John Kent's detailed analysis shows how the broader requirements of Anglo-French relations in Europe and the wider world influenced the formulation and execution of the two colonial powers' policy in Black Africa. He examines the guiding principles of the colonial policy-makers in London and Paris and the problems experienced within the colonies which made it more difficult for colonial administrators to implement metropolitan policies. This is a genuinely comparative study, thoroughly grounded in both French and British archives, and it sheds new light on the development of Anglo-French co-operation in colonial matters during this period.
